    Illegal protests.

    Okay so since protests are an expression of opinion, and you got that pesky first amendment, all protests are legal, so this tweet is a nothing burger.

    We really need to tax the mega rich. I compiled this list of numbers after the President speech last night, it’s kinda wild:

    $            99,000 - National Median Income is less than $100 thousand.
    $         1,000,000 - 1 Million Dollars.
    $       485,000,000 - Cut Funds to International Relations and whatever.
    $     1,000,000,000 - 1 Billion Dollars. There are over 400 Billionaires in America.
    $    22,000,000,000 - Cut Funds to American Social Serivces through HHS (Human & Health Services).
    $   244,000,000,000 - Elon Musks Net Worth.
    $ 1,620,000,000,000 - 1 Trillion Dollars - Meta (Facebooks) Corporate Net Worth.
    $19,900,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2017 (Obama to Trump)
    $27,800,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2021 (Trump to Biden)
    $36,000,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2025 (Biden to Trump)

    Trump has a team of scientists sitting in a lab cooking up the worst possible tweet in response to every issue.

    “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

    Every time I scroll past this image, that’s the line that gets me. Bold threatening declaration by fascist dictator, then ends like a work email reminding you not to leave food in the cafeteria fridge over the weekend.

    I used to be the pride of my family for having finished college. Now it’s demonized by them.

    I feel for the students of today. College was an important time for me. I experienced a lot of new ideas, my mind was opened. I didn’t get to do much in grad school, but my first four years of college changed me and I wouldn’t be the same without those experiences. The way the situation is escalating we may see colleges completely locked down or even abolished.

    Pretty sure the colleges were doing this on their on volition. No need to reiterate president trump, they have the situation under control.
